The Americans were blushing at the Texaco Oil Company's large amount of money and tried to inquire about the possibility of purchasing new petroleum refining equipment through various channels, but they were mercilessly rejected.

They don't know that this Chang'an Petroleum Equipment Company is also an enterprise that the royal family holds shares on behalf of various companies, and in fact controls it entirely, and the relevant petroleum refining equipment will not be considered for export for 10 years.

10 years later

The oil companies that have sprung up in the Tang Kingdom should have a new level of refining capacity and stronger market dominance.

At that time, it is inevitable that competition will be appropriately liberalized.

The flowers in the greenhouse can never grow, and only by experiencing the baptism of the market can the world's big oil companies with real market competitiveness rise.

As for now, the United States is always dreaming!

these years

The relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the U.S. federal government has been bumpy and has never entered the track of normalization, and the trade between the two sides often has to be transferred through the south, which makes the southern state in a unique position in the bilateral trade between the United States and Tang.

The southern states of the United States and the northern states have been at odds for a long time, and in the same country, industrial products from Europe and the Tang Kingdom can enter the southern states unhindered and become the mainstream products in the market.

However, the products of the northern states of the United States are not accessible, and even if they do, they are hindered, and it is common for geese to pluck their feathers, and all kinds of bizarre taxes alone can make people collapse.

This is not surprising

The northern states of the United States have always held high the banner of human rights and advocated the abolition of slavery, and many white civil rights activists in the north have secretly established the so-called "freedom channel", that is, a secret channel to help black slaves in the south escape to the north.

no doubt

White Southern slave owners regarded black slaves as their wealth, and black slaves were the main labor force on cotton plantations, each worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and strong male black slaves were even worth thousands of dollars.

Running away one or two was enough to make the white slave owners feel distressed for a long time. Some southern plantations, with the help of the white people in the north, ran away from a dozen or even dozens of black slaves at once, how could they not let those white slave owners be so angry that they vomited blood?

In their eyes, the North is always stealing nakedly.

In the long run, it is strange that relations between the South and the North can be good.

After losing such an external threat as the Tang Kingdom, the United States has now formed a clear antagonistic camp between the south and the north, and the two sides have deep grievances, there are irreconcilable fundamental contradictions, and grievances and dissatisfaction are continuing to ferment.

Even if the Tang Kingdom had a smooth trade channel with the southern states of the United States, it was impossible to sell important new petroleum refining equipment, wouldn't that be tantamount to abandoning martial arts to cultivate a strong opponent for itself?

This kind of stupid thing must never be done.

The so-called appropriate liberalization of competition refers to the appropriate sale of refining and chemical equipment that is a generation behind to British oil companies when the pressure cannot be withstood by them, and other countries, including France, Prussia, and the United States, are not considered.

In addition to the dazzling Texaco Oil Company, the American River Gold Rush Company still plays a mainstay role.

In 1851, the American River basin produced a total of 3,877,400 ounces of gold, with a total output value of 77,580,000 Tang Yuan.

With advanced gold panning trough equipment and a superior geographical location, the American River Gold Mining Company exclusively enjoys 2/3 of the share and makes a lot of money.

But it should be seen

After six years of large-scale and high-intensity development, especially in the past two years the gold rush has intensified, the gold resources of the American River are showing a state of depletion, this year's gold output has not increased much compared with the previous year, the income of ordinary gold diggers has fallen by more than half, and it has become a dream to get rich overnight.

The dream of making a fortune was shattered, which prompted a large number of gold diggers to return to society and engage in various industrial and commercial or agricultural and animal husbandry industries within their capabilities, and the gold rush boom was cooling down step by step.

However, in the remote area of Melbourne, Australia, in the vast Pacific Ocean, new gold deposits have been discovered.

The River of the Americas Gold Rush moved quickly and landed in Melbourne in mid-1851, waving money to acquire large parcels of land in areas rich in gold for further development.

Melbourne, Australia, is also a new profit growth point for the American River Gold Rush Company.

As a world-class mining company, the American River Gold Rush Company has a complex source of shareholders, not only has the royal and aristocratic shareholders of the Tang Kingdom, but also has great influence in the high society of the British Isles, with many top aristocratic shareholders.

Therefore, the American River Gold Rush Company landed in Melbourne in a big way, and all aspects were greenlit, and it soon became one of the local giants.

General Heavy Industry Holding Co., Ltd. (holding steel mills, iron ore and coal mines, shipyards and other heavy industrial enterprises) benefited from the industrial policy of the Tang Kingdom, and the number of steel plants controlled by it has increased from 5 to 17, with an annual output of 370,000 tons of iron.

Compared with the world's largest Britain, this output is only about 15% of Britain's current production, but it should be noted that Britain's pig iron production was as high as 4.7 million tons more than ten years ago.

It's just that production has been declining due to shrinking demand, and it is now only half of its heyday.

The Tang Kingdom is due to strong domestic demand, and the steel industry is in a stage of rapid development. The two major industries of shipbuilding and railways basically digest 8% of the steel production capacity.

The remaining 20% is used for the construction of bridges and houses in towns, and the demand for this area is growing rapidly, and the supply gap is large.

For this reason, the Tang Kingdom had to import more than 100,000 tons of steel from Britain to make up for the lack of production capacity.

Considering the current situation of old equipment, poor smelting capacity and low output in the world's steel industry, the University of California Steel Research Laboratory, funded by General Heavy Industries Holdings, brings together experts and scholars in the steel industry from all over the world to develop advanced steel smelting equipment to improve production efficiency and output as soon as possible.

At present, the new production process has passed the technical demonstration, and the drawing design and engineering research stage of the new steel smelting technology and equipment are underway.

In a few months, it will soon enter the production stage of new steel smelting equipment.

At that time, the production efficiency and output of steel plants using new steel smelting equipment will be greatly improved.

Different from the revolutionary subversive design of petroleum refining equipment, the new steel smelting equipment directly and rudely adopts the method of expansion, that is, there is more molten steel in a furnace, and the output will naturally go up.

In addition, the use of heavy oil and diesel fuel to support combustion, forced air infusion, can greatly improve the steelmaking efficiency of the steelmaking furnace, shorten the smelting time of single furnace molten steel, and thus increase the output.

This kind of process improvement is only suitable for a large country with a large amount of excess heavy oil and diesel fuel, such as the Tang Kingdom, and other countries cannot learn it.

The great development of the Grape Valley Light Industry Company (holding textile, garment, food, winemaking and other light industrial enterprises) originated from the signing of the "Mexican Treaty" in August 1851, the reclamation of large tracts of land suitable for cotton cultivation in Chihuahua and New Mexico provinces, forming a stable and huge cotton production base, which led to the rapid development of the domestic textile industry and garment industry.

The rise of large cotton plantations in Chihuahua and New Mexico has also led to a large number of poor Mexicans working on cotton plantations, with a total of 170,000 people today.

As cotton plantations mushroom, the demand for Mexican labor will grow rapidly.

Compared with the labor market of 4 million black slaves in the southern United States, the cotton plantations in the Tang Kingdom are now in the ascendant, and there is still a broad space for development in the future.

But you have to take your time, you can't become fat in one bite.

By the end of 1851

After the total population of the Tang Kingdom exceeded the 3 million mark in February, the scale of Chinese immigrants increased at 7~80,000 per month, coupled with 2.7 to 29,000 new births per month, and the total population exceeded the 4 million mark again by the end of the year, setting a new high in history.

throughout North America

As a result, the Tang Kingdom surpassed Mexico and was the second most populous country in North America after the United States.

The social prosperity brought about by the rapid economic development is reflected in all aspects of society, the rapid growth of urban area, the rise of all kinds of beautiful buildings, and the abundant harvest of agriculture and animal husbandry have brought about the abundance of urban supply and promoted the prosperity of commerce.

Within the vast territory of the Tang Kingdom, the Chinese people's business talents were fully exploited, and the wealthy opened shipping companies and got involved in heavy industries such as steel mills and shipyards.

There are also some businessmen who devote themselves to cement factories, brick kilns, wineries, textile factories, quarries, timber mills, food factories and so on, and find their own position in the social division of labor, and their development is in full swing.

Those Chinese immigrants who had just arrived in North America and did not have much money on them simply picked up the merchants to walk the streets and alleys, working hard to accumulate original capital.

Watching other people's lives prosperous, marrying wives and concubines after getting rich, and buying houses and real estate more and more inspired the great enthusiasm of later Chinese immigrants to start their own businesses.

In an ordinary Chinese family

Having an Indian woman or maid is the basic configuration, and the slightly better one is the Mexican maid, whether it is to give birth to children or help with work, she is a good hand.

Most middle-class Chinese families have one or more white concubines, a few Mexican maids, at least a single-family house or their own land, shops, and a stable source of income.

More than 80 percent of these middle-class Chinese families are veterans of the army, and they have become the middle class that got rich first.

If you have the conditions, you will order a Chinese bride, and after these Chinese brides have traveled thousands of miles to North America, 9 into 9 deserve to be the position of the housewife, and the male host will take out the guests to entertain and feel that there is light on their faces.

After all, the ghost old man is a ghost old man, not only the language barrier, but also the living customs are very different, after all, marrying a daughter-in-law is a good Chinese, and the aunt naturally doesn't care.

After His Majesty the King married a lady from a famous family from the mainland of China as the queen and the princess, this craze for marrying a bride from the mainland was first initiated by the aristocratic group, and then quickly spread to the wealthy and middle classes of society, thus breeding more than a dozen powerful multinational media companies, which is a later story.
